Ketchum keystone.

Ketchum Keystone.
Madame Medini, who will be we'll
remembered by many as Miss Frank
10 II. Miller, who resided in BOISE
county number Of years ago, was in
ketchum during the week, accompa-
MED by Mrs. J. H. Burkett Of HALEY.
at which town she appeared last
Wednesday night in grand concert.
She left HALEY Thursday for the
East, and after spending two days in
Salt Lake City will appear at Kansas
City next Friday night, and from
thence she will go direct to New
York City. In addition to her usual
concert work there she will devote
two days of each week to vocal train
ing at Rye seminary, near New York
City, averaging from thirty-six to for.
ty lessons.
The amount of work that the lady
has accomplished during her short
stay in Boise City is but an index of
what she intends to do within the
coming year. During the six weeks
she was there she averaged seventy
six private and class lessons week,
IN addition to arranging programmes
for concerts given under her direc-
ton.
Madame Medini, aside from her
musical accomplishments, is lady OF
fine literary attainments, and it is
more than possible that she will this
year introduce to the public book,
the success of which seems to be GER
tain by the publishers who have been
permitted to read it. This fatterine
Judgment passed upon the work is
the more surprising when it is known
that the romance is written in verse
for publishers generally fight shy O
poetical geniuses and unknown au
thors.

nam's publishing house, wrote her
"Your poem has great power, united
with simplicity of diction. | hav'
been intensely interested in it
perusal."
. DR.. Ward, of the New York Inde
pendent, said, when only three hun
dred lines had been written: "You
subject is one to interest the public
and if the rest is treated as happil
l it is sure to be successful"
Rev. Minot J. Savage said of on
$ part which the author desired t
change: "No! let it stand; its patho
simplicity and dramatic power mu
- not be tampered with"
The book will number about &c
J pages and will probably be issue
= very shortly. During her years I
study in Italy Madam Medini was
. constant contributor to Boston al
II New York papers, and while in Lol

SUMMIT Flat District, which many years
ago was the scene of activities in quartz
mining, and made handsome yield of
the yellow metal, will soon have revival
of prospecting and development work,
and in fact the work has already begun.
Henry Whitney and Young have relocat-
ed four old mines. the Eph Mathew,
Goodwin, Specimen, and another, the
name of which we did not learp- John
Pharriss was informed by Mr.. Whitney
that they would soon begin work on the
Goodwin mine. They will run five-hun
dred foot tunnel to tap the ledge one hun
dred and fifty feet below the old works
These mines were abandoned, not on &C
count of pay giving out, but for the reason
that the ore was all taken out from the tun
nels To the surface, and because of the ex
pense of running tunnels to tap them Al
greater depth, the ground being rathe
flat, and the cost of putting up hoistipg
works. The cost of developing is but
small per cent OF what it would have beel
in the days when those mines were work
ed, when labor and supplies were high

A PETITION is in circulation here
asking for the establishment of mail
route to Silver District, the route to
be an extension of the Banner mail
route. An effort will be made to Sc
cure service six times week, and
this is not asking too much. There
will be quite crew of men in Silver
District the coming winter, and next
year the force will be increased, and
the population of this new district
will then be at least equal to that of
Banner district. 1t is expected that
the route will be established and the
contract for carrying the mail let this
fall or early in the winter. The
sooner the better. The petition will
be forwarded to Delegate Dubois
who will be prompt in showing to the
Postoffice Department the need of q
mail route from Banner to Silver
District.

WASHINGTON.
Queen Kapiolani and Suite Shown
Through the Treasury Department
by Secretary Fairchild.
The Washington Monument Subj ected to
Continued Acts of Vandalism at the
Hands of Visitors.
VISITED THE TREASURY.

WASHINGTON. May Queen Kspioleni
visited the Treasury Department this
morning, and was escorted through the
building by Secretary Fairchild. She
was accompanied by her suite, General
Donunos, Captain Taylor, United States
army; Lieutenant Rodgers, United States
navy; and Mr.. Brown of the Department
of State. Mrs. Fsirchild Joined the party
atIthe Treasury and assisted the Secretary
in explaining the different points of in
terest. The cash vaults were visited and
the Queen seemed to take deep interest
in the mountains of gold and silver stored
therein. She was, however, more par
ticularly interested ia the administration
of the life saving service, and said she
desired to introduce the same system into
her own kingdom. The Queen and her
suit will leave Washington this afternoon
for Boston.
running THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
WASHINGTON, May THE Washing
ton monument commission this afternoon
held meeting to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
of closing the monument to the public
after June l, on account of the continued
acts of vandalism which are perpetrated
by visitors. The marble is Clipped in
many places, while the bronze letters on
the swiss table have many of them been
forced off and carried away as memen-
toes. The silver ornamentatiOn OF the
Nevada stone has also been mutilated,
and the commission is determined to put
stop to these disgraceful acts, even if
to do so it is necessary to deny visitors
entrance to the shaft.
VISITED THE MONITORS.
WASHINGTON, May THE naval in
spect1on board has returned from visit
OF inspection to the seven monitors. They
were all found in excellent condition.
-Four of them-the Wyandot, Catskill,
Lehigh and AjaX-being for active serv-
ice-and three Mahipaca, Manhat-
tan and CanoniCus being suitable for har-
Dor defense.
TO TEST THE NEW MONTE RS.
WASHINGTON, May THE work under
contract on the monitors Terror and
is practically finished, and the
Navy Department is considering the
nature of the tests that must be success
fully undergone before the vessels are
accepted by the government. Although
the work contracted for has been exc
cuted the vessels are not in seaworthy
condition. By use OF temporary devices |
these difficulties might be overcome and |
the vessels be made ready for sea, but it
would require at least two months work |
and large outlay of money to do this. |
Therefore it has been virtually decided TO |
;onfine the tests to dock trials of the en-
zines, and if these result satisfactorily |
he monitors will be accepted.

GATEsvILLE, TEX, May I, 1887.
Hon. o. H. Cooper:
DEAR SIR address you for the pur-
pose of informing you that there has been
some person passing through this county
forging school checks and selling to
some of our merchants, and to catch the
thief 1 thought you could notify the
county Judges in the state, and they
could post the merchants and bankers,
and by this means detect the fraud. One
school voucher was sold to a grocery
merchant in this town on January % for
sos, said voucher calling for $50; another
to dry goods merchant for the same
amount. The party is using seal on his
checks which shows it to be an
old, worn tax-collectors' seal. If
there is any method which can
be adopted to catch him, we want him
here on one voucher. He signs his name
J. R. Jones on one and on the other r. j.
Simmons. There are no such teachers
in this county. Yours truly,
W. P. STOVALL,
County Judge.

A New York Policeman Caught gSeliiu <
Louisiana Lottery Tickets.
NEW YORK, May Police Superin-
tendent Murray was dumbfounded when
few days ago he learned that in bust.
ness house on lower Broadway a police
man in full uniform had set up lottery
and policy business of his own. Detect
ives were put upon the case and found
that the story was true. The police
mans name is Morris Colbert. He is as
signed to post IN mercantile
building and he thought he could increase
his income somewhat by selling Louisiana
lottery tickets and policy gigs. Colbert
was arrested this morning and taken to
police headquarters where Superinten-
dent Murray cut of his brass buttons
and tore off his stripes He was then
locked up. The detectives who worked
up the case won considerable money on
tickets bought from the enterprising DO
liCeman. The money was turned into
the police pension fund.

here, as required by the Congressional act
giving that road q charter through the
Territory. He also deposited the neces-
sary $500 per mile OF 100 miles through
the Nation. The Arkansas Valley folks
do not seem to consider the suit now
pending in the United States Court of the
Western District of Arkansas of the
Cherokee Nation against the Southern
Kansas Railway to test the right of Con-
gress to give railways the right of way
through the Cherokee Nation without the
consent of the Cherokees as being
stumbling block whatever, ard they
propose to go right ahead the same as if
no such suit was pending. There is no
doubt but that this road will pay we'll
through the Nation, as it runs right
through the heart of the cotton region of
the Arkansas river, also through coal
and timber country, after which it strikes
the cattle country for share of that
trade.
Fort Gibson expects to be the banner
town of the Indian Territory, and lots
are held away up yonder. 1t will Ger
tainly get the round house, and be the
end of division on the road. With its
abundance of water together with the finest
timber in the west surrounding it, it is
sure to make quite an Indian railroad
town. Then again, there are rumors
afioat that tweive companies of soldiers
are to be quartered here soon, instead of
two as at present, which, together with
the railroad offices, promises well for
that place. In fact, no better paying
route could have oeen selected by rail
road company through the Indian Terri
tory than the one selected by the Arkan-
sas Valley Company from Van Buren,,
Ark, to Arkansas City, Kan.

ELOQUENT CUBAN EsEs.
The Beggars Capture Hearts and None
with Expressive Chances.

The BeggRrs Capture Hearts and Money
with Expressive Chances.
The Cuban beggars seldom fail to cap
ture the stray change of any American
visitor, but in the case of D. M, of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, they
seem to have taken his heart also. He
writes:
The beggar girls merely hold out their
hand and petition you with their wonder
full eyes. Articulate speech is poor re-
course compared with such eyes. One
dark-eyed, dark-skinned little Vagabond
held out her dirty little paw to me and
gave me such look. It was prayer,
a petition; it was full of tears and plead
lngs, of infinite tenderness, hope
and untold woe She said only
"Centano, senor," and murmured all
sorts of buenos, and chequitos and boni-
tos, or something of the sort, as tribute
to my gigantic goodness, my enormous
heart, and my overwhelming masculine
beauty.
IcOuldn't stand it and got out Cuban
10 cent shin plaster, which is worth about
cents. and handed it to her, though the
hall porter was ordering her to ''vayose"
or. vamos, or something to that effect.
When she saw the shin plaster she
turned her great eyes up to mine as
though almost stunned at my princely
generosity, seized my hand and kissed it,
turned and yelled ''caramba" to some
more little half naked rascsIs, and away
they went to cigarette shop. The por-
ter said she is the worst one in the bust
ness.
4 quiet old gentleman from Albany was
sitting near me, and q woman, leading
two children and carrying another upon
her head, approached him and held out
her hand. He put a 10-cent piece in It,
and, with stately grace, she knelt, kissed
his hand, and called down blessing
upon his head, saying: "Ah, senior, que
disclose soy!" which comes pretty near
meaning, "Ah, sir, how happy ami"
When she knelt in that solemn way,
with young one kneeling on either side,
and raised her eyes to heaven, whereat
the baby on her head nearly fell of, and
held to the hand of the modest old gen
tlemsn from Albany, the group was the
center of observation, and the modest old
gentleman got red in the face, snd looked
painfully embarrassed. 80

SHERMAN

A Board of Emigration Organized-Its
Objects.
Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, May IA mass>meet-
ing of the merchants, capitalists and
business men of the CITY was held
at the courthouse last night
for the purpose of organizing
a board of emigration. General T.. ).
Mitchell, associate editor of the Western
Trade Journal of St. Louis, addressed the
meeting in lengthy speech, showing
the benefits to be derived from
local boards of emigration and
the good results following the same in
Missouri, Kansas and other states. he
also explained the inducements offered to
emigrants from the east by trunk lines Of
railroad of which he is the representa-
tive.
Professor Somerville, superintendent
OF city schools, addressed the meeting by
request. He stated that the grade system
was introduced in Sherman about three
years ago, at which time there were only
about 500 pupils in regular attendance
and eight teachers, and that
there was at present an average
attendance of 1000 pupils, with an enroll
ment of 1890 pupils and twenty teachers.
A board of emigration was then per-
manentiy organized by electing J. F.
Evans as president and George Marshall
as secretary.
The object of the board will be to cor
respond with other general emigration
boards and heads of railroad depart
ments, concerning matters pertaining to
emigrants who desire to come to Texas
and to furnish the leading Journals of the
country with data for publication giving
the resources and advantages of the
country.

Canadian Uattie

MONTREAL, P. O., May Mr.. j. 81.
Smith, representing John Small & Sons
of Glasgow, has returned from q tour of
the ranching country in Northwest and
British Columbia. He says the past win
ter has been the most severe for cattle
ever experienced since TanChing started
in the northwest, aud the average of PHI
grim cattle brought into the territories
from Ontario and British Columbia will
amount to from 20 TO % per cent, while
the loss on the old range will not exceed
s or 10 per cent. Nine thousand head of
cattle were driven over the plains from
Montana to Maple creek last year, and
owing to the Montana ranges being so
crowded it is expected that from 10000
to go, 900 cattle will come into the terri
tories this year, provided that the quar-
antine of the Montana cattle does not
hold them back. Although beef is higher,
this state Of things can only last for
short time, and the cattle that are selling
for from $50 to S55 to-day, will only be
worth $40 to $40 in less than two months
time, and within years time
the same will rot be worth more than
$50 to $35. Some ranchmen talked about
the Hudson Bay route for their shipments
of cattle. There can be no doubt but
that when completed it will be of great
assistance to the Territories, as it will
reduce the railway journey to just one
half of what it is now, and it will then
also be possible for cattle to be driven
600 to 700 miles over the plains without
decorating them in env way, as they
would be driven some ten to fifteen miles
per day and thus would be fattening all
the time besides lessening the railway
journey and expenses considerably. The
Canadian Pacific charges say $245 per
carload from Calgary to Montreal, and
is willing to reduce to about $3.50 to en-
courage the trade. 1t has reduced the
rate from Winnepeg from $3.50 to 800
per carload.

A San Antonio Blaze.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, May This aft
ernoon about o'clock a ire broke out IN
the store and saloon kept by an Italian
named P. Negra, on the corner of
Northeast and Zavalla streets.
The flames extended rapidly, and in a
very short space of time two Mexican
huts on Northeast street, and three
houses, including the residence of the
pastor of the A. M. E. Church on Zavalia
street were burning. The flames beat
against the colored church on the latter
street, but after hard work by the fire de-
partment the church was saved. About
$1,000 will cover the loss, on which there
is no insurance. Several of the poor
families lost all they had in the world.

NEW YORK, May THE Pacific Rail
way Commission held an executive SEES
sion to-day at which they discussed plans
for proceeding to the examination of the

ton will be proceeded with on Tuesday
